India totters at 98 for four against Zimbabwe
After openers Rohit Sharma and Shikar Dhawan fell cheaply to Zimbabwe pacer Tinashe Panyangara, both in the seventh over scoring 21 each, Azinkya Rahane (19) and Virat Kohli (38), who built a 50-run partnership were out leaving the team at 98 for four wickets at the end of the 25th over.
Skipper M S Dhoni (4) and Suresh Raina (12) were at the crease with the task of putting up a fight back.
Earlier, a swashbuckling 138 by wicket keeper-batsman Brfendan Taylor put Zimbabwe in a position to throw a challenge to India, so far unbeaten in the group league.
Even though Zimbabwe lost three early wickets of Hamilton Masakadza (2), Chamu Chibhabha (7) and Solomon Mire (33), a 109-run partnership between Sean Williams (50) and Taylor pulled the side out of crisis and built a solid foundation.
For India pace trio Mohammed Shami, Mohit Sharma and Umesh Yadav bagged three wickets each.
